Sore Loser

Yes! After four years, Manchester United finally wins the Premier League. It feels surreal that I’m still having trouble believing it. Even now, I’m getting up in the morning with a goofy smile at my face, glad that United winning the title once again is not a dream.

However, I couldn’t help being irked at the moron (and the rent boys) comment that United were not the best team. United simply gained more points than everyone else, but his team remained the best in England. In unison with his boss, Lampard emphasized that they were just unlucky for having so many players injured at the untimely manner. Of course, Lampard added in the end of his speech that they respected United for winning the Premiership nonetheless.

Yeah right. I never know that claiming yourself as the best while saying that the winner’s just being lucky when you lose in a competition is considered a respectful attitude towards the winner.

I guess one’s true colors can only be seen when he fails. People are in such a good mood during their moments of victory that they don’t mind being friendly and generously praising just about everybody, opponents included, for their good work. Of course, they might not be that generous in showing their appreciation to others when they’re on the losing side.

Nevertheless, you can choose whether to lose in style or not. Instead of making excuses and being in self denial, it’s better to evaluate your performance and try to do better next time around. Mourinho has made himself a laughing stock by moaning and saying things like he did. Plus, it shows us yet again (remember when Chelsea lost against Barca last season?) what a sore loser he is. And his team members, I suppose.

Hopefully, the lads will be able to trash them out next Saturday at Wembley. Then, United can have the last laugh once more.

I’m out of here....
